I'm not sure whether the change is as drastic as all that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Jack London self-publish? Christopher Paolini certainly did, as did a number of other authors whose names later became household words.
Amazon has lowered the entry barriers for self-publishers and the internet has provided far more sense of community than they've ever had before, but authors acting as entrepreneurs is most definitely not a new occurance.
